From the beginning, Cameron's journey in WWE was not easy. With no previous experience in wrestling, she arrived as one of the participants in Tough Enough in 2011 and there she earned the hatred and mockery of the audience when she pointed out that her favorite match in WWE history was Melina vs. Alicia Fox. Has she changed her mind?
The wrestler, who was part of the wave of WWE layoffs a few weeks ago, was recently on Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast, her host in Tough Enough, where she showed that her five years in WWE had helped her improve her knowledge of wrestling.
I was not a big fan of wrestling and that was the first thing I remembered with women and stuff. And that's what I said and it's one of those things that will live with me forever (…). Now I see why people were so angry. At the time, I thought "I don't understand it" or "if it had been someone else, people would say 'oh, yes' but it's because it's me." (…) It really made me sit down, learn the history, and be able to say "ok, you know what? I think I see where this is coming from."
So, after learning some of the industry's history and WWE's history, what is Cameron's new favorite match?
I have a few favorite matches, but I want to say first Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage. I would say that's number one... it was a defining moment and I really like that match.
In addition, Cameron also talked about another historic match in WWE: Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13, a match that marked a before and after in the career of the legendary Stone Cold:
I think it was a tremendous moment with Austin and Bret Hart in the submission match. It was a good match. You passed out, and all that blood!
As we can see, Cameron still doesn't seem to speak with true expertise and knowledge about these two historic matches, but without a doubt, knowing them is already a big step compared to when, for her, half a century of WWE history had reached its peak with Alicia Fox and Melina.
